That is a BEAUTIFUL garage. I am working on doing the same thing this summer, not quite to your level though...

Here's our 90' 8.8m. Twin BB, 675 HP per side naturally asperated, Konrad drives (the ONLY way to go). She's getting a new hatch cuz the old one won't close with the motors we put in. Windshield is getting replaced with a custom built and the hull's going white with a yet to be determined graphic.

where a bunch of my friends bought 3500sq/ft plus houses, I bought something a little smaller and built the garage

Man! Lofty......what kind of speeds are you seeing with that kind of power???.....hows the acceleration!!??.....hows the handling at top speed?:eek:

It's a squirell at speed, runs 101gps. She handles great until about 90 then you need to get your game face on.

It's one of the most well behaved boats I've driven. Fountain never intended this hull to run the speeds we're seeing so I'm not surprised that she gets loose over 90. Anything under that speed and she's a kitten.

Does anyone know how many 88 27' Fevers there were? I think mine is #003. I was told that after a few were built, fire ruined the mold. Any truth to this? I've done research but found nothing.

HIN# if it helps with the numbers is FGQ27003B888
